Huayu: Starting from Fahrenheit

Chapter 458 Evaluation
The theater lights went out, and images from "John Wick" began to appear on the screen.

The first scene shows Wu Zhuo getting out of the car, falling to the ground, and in his unconscious state, beginning to recall images of his wife.

"Abel's outfit this time is great. Her long hair, combined with her slightly tired face, gives her a unique charm."

"I think so too, but what kind of memory is this?"

The flashback part was actually a little boring.

Especially if this happens before the story even begins, it can give the audience a feeling of not understanding.

The beginning of "John Wick" also has a similar feel.

However, the main feature started soon after.

After a brief, heartwarming scene depicting a cute dog being killed by thugs attempting to rob someone, the average audience member in the theater instinctively gasped in shock.

"How could this be?"

"Fuck, this guy doesn't even spare dogs."

Hearing the discussion in the audience, Wu Zhuo couldn't help but listen carefully.

There are many extreme animal rights activists in North America, and he doesn't want to be labeled as a racist because of this.

"My God, Abel is so cool."

"It felt so good, so awesome! It's a really great movie."

"That's pretty cool."

The audience members in the regular seats were actually quite far from Wu Zhuo and his group.

There's no other way; this is to prevent ordinary audience members from harassing the performers in the front row.

Therefore, Wu Zhuo really wanted to hear their opinions on the film.

Unfortunately, most people didn't get to the point.

Wu Zhuo then turned his attention to the two film critics behind him.

The two film critics were of different heights and builds; one was tall and the other short, and the shorter, thinner one wore glasses.

The two of them kept their voices very low.

Wu Zhuo had to listen carefully to hear it.

"The film doesn't have many plot points, nor does it have much narrative depth."

However, the film's focus is not on narrative depth, but rather on depicting a hero encountering and dealing with a series of increasingly powerful villains until he confronts the big boss.

In some ways, the film's narrative resembles that of a video game.

"Yes, in a way, it's a game-like plot."

Overall, it lacks depth.

However, Abel's character development is good, and the fight scenes and gun battles throughout the film are very well done; Hollywood rarely produces films like this.

Furthermore, it is precisely this game-like storyline that makes the film more exciting, perfectly aligning with the creative model of commercial films.

After exchanging a few words, the two quieted down and focused on watching the movie.

Seeing this, Wu Zhuo stopped listening and turned his attention to the movie.

Actually, the story of "John Wick" is quite ordinary.

In short: A hitman starts a new life in pursuit of peace and tranquility, only to be pulled back to the past by reality.

However, Benny Chan and Ng Cheuk added dazzling action choreography, cutting-edge visual effects, and Ng Cheuk's heroic performance to this old-fashioned story, which increased the film's entertainment value.

With the help of the Jackie Chan Stunt Team's action choreographers, who clearly understood what kind of action performances would achieve the best results, the film achieved a very high standard in action choreography.

Then, combined with a game-like monster-fighting and leveling-up mode, the film maintains a consistently high level of enjoyment.

This is evident from the fact that once the movie's plot got on track, the audience all quieted down and watched attentively.

As a popcorn movie, if the audience is all looking down at their phones or going to the bathroom, it's a disaster.

Then, there's basically no hope for this show.

Clearly, John Wick has successfully attracted everyone's attention.

The storyline continues to unfold.

At the same time, the concept of a mainland hotel was gradually brought to the forefront.

To be honest, the setting of the Mainland Hotel in this drama is quite amazing.

Once its operating mode became somewhat apparent, the two film critics immediately began discussing it with surprise.

"The setting of this mainland hotel is very interesting. It belongs to the assassin world and fighting is not allowed in the hotel."

Also, the setting of settling funds with gold coins is pretty good. "Haha, Jackie Chan is in it too!"

Hearing this, Wu Zhuo was even more satisfied.

Of course, this is not just because of these two film critics.

Other audience members were also discussing it at this time.

"Abel is really good at acting in movies. I always thought he could only sing."

"My God! Don't you know he's acted in a lot of movies? Ip Man is so good, haven't you seen it?"

"This gunfight is so exhilarating! Clean and efficient, one shot, one kid."

"Moreover, Abel is completely different from the one in Ip Man. In this movie, he barely has any lines. He's ruthless and doesn't talk much."

Amidst exclamations of admiration, the film gradually came to an end.

As the screen lights brightened, applause erupted from the audience.

"Abel, you acted so well."

"This movie is sure to be a huge hit!"

"I love so much."

Many audience members immediately started shouting.

"Thank you, thank you everyone."

Wu Zhuo thanked the audience as he walked onto the stage in front of the screen with the main cast.

All the main creators, including him, were in good spirits.

Everyone is not blind; it's clear that everyone had a good impression of the movie.

"Thank you all so much for coming to support this film, and thank you to all the media friends who are here. We have prepared some small gifts for you, and our staff will distribute them to you later."

In fact, premiere movie tickets are usually much more expensive.

Especially for someone like Wu Zhuo who has a large number of fans.

Premiere tickets were extremely difficult to obtain.

So, while people are spending so much money on tickets, it's natural that the production team would prepare some small gifts.

Of course, the gifts from the media will be different.

The gifts from the audience were really small gifts.

The media will make money.

"Actually, filming this movie was quite difficult, especially the action scenes. Several of our actors were injured while filming..."

I don’t know when it started.

Wu Zhuo has even learned to ramble on and on.

He rarely gave speeches in the past.

Now, perhaps it's because I'm giving more speeches.

He talks about it wherever he goes.

"Alright, now please ask your questions, friends from the media!"

After Wu Zhuo spoke at length, he let the other main creators say a few words.

Wu Zhuo then officially announced the start of the media Q&A session.

Upon hearing this, some of the reporters in the group immediately jumped up and raised their hands.

"Okay, it's you."

Wu Zhuo wasn't afraid of being targeted by the other party.

Normally, the movie tickets that media outlets can get into here are given to them by the film crew.

The production team already knew who to invite before they even made the invitation.

To put it simply, they only invite media outlets they have a good relationship with.

Those who make inappropriate remarks at someone else's premiere or report incorrectly afterward will generally not be invited by any companies in the future.

Therefore, Wu Zhuo was not worried at all about being made things difficult for.

"Abel, we saw an Easter egg in the movie. Does that mean there's a sequel?"
